Martin Atkins	fee61a44b4	command/e2etest: end-to-end testing harness ... Previously we had no automated testing of whether we can produce a Terraform executable that actually works. Our various functional tests have good coverage of specific Terraform features and whole operations, but we lacked end-to-end testing of actual usage of the generated binary, without any stubbing. This package is intended as a vehicle for such end-to-end testing. When run normally under "go test" it will produce a build of the main Terraform binary and make it available for tests to execute. The harness exposes a flag for whether tests are allowed to reach out to external network services, controlled with our standard TF_ACC environment variable, so that basic local tests can be safely run as part of "make test" while more elaborate tests can be run easily when desired. It also provides a separate mode of operation where the included script make-archive.sh can be used to produce a self-contained test archive that can be copied to another system to run the tests there. This is intended to allow testing of cross-compiled binaries, by shipping them over to the target OS and architecture to run without requiring a full Go compiler installation on the target system. The goal here is not to test again functionality that's already well-covered by our existing tests, but rather to test chains of normal operations against the build binary that are not otherwise tested together.	9 years ago
